9. Tipping and Monetization 

Overview

PO Networks Inc. (“PO,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provides eligible users (“Creators”) with monetization opportunities through the platform, including but not limited to:
(a) earning revenue through live broadcasts by sharing in ad revenue generated during livestreams via Google AdMob or other partnered ad networks;
(b) receiving performance-based bonuses or promotional incentives (when applicable); and
(c) earning visibility rewards based on engagement, watch time, and platform activity.

All creator earnings are automatically tracked within the PO platform. Revenue is processed and distributed securely through PayPal HyperWallet, which manages all creator payouts. PO does not directly store or access payment credentials.

All earnings are subject to PO’s Creator Terms, platform policies, and applicable third-party processing fees.


10. Earnings and Creator Payouts

  • All creator income is generated exclusively from advertising shown during live streams on the PO platform.

  • Revenue Distribution: Creators receive 50 % of the total ad revenue generated from their live broadcasts. Earnings are based solely on verified livestream ad performance data, including engagement, viewer count, and total watch time.

  • Payment Processing: All payouts are securely handled through PayPal HyperWallet. PO does not store, process, or have access to any creator’s banking or PayPal account details.

  • Payout Schedule: Earnings are automatically distributed after PO receives finalized ad-revenue reports from its advertising partners (e.g., Google AdMob). Payouts are released once the livestream ad revenue has been verified and cleared for distribution.

  • Fees and Adjustments: Standard third-party processing or transaction fees may apply depending on payout method or region.

  • Disputes: PO is not responsible for delays, reversals, or errors caused by external processors such as PayPal HyperWallet, Google AdMob, or other partnered financial institutions


11. Virtual Gifts and PO Coins

  1. Users may purchase PO Coins within the app through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to send virtual gifts (e.g., Roses, Diamonds, Yachts, etc.).

  2. App store providers charge up to 30% in transaction fees on in-app purchases. This amount is deducted before any coin value is allocated to the Platform.

  3. After these deductions, creators receive 70% of the remaining net value, and 30% is retained by PO Networks Inc.

  4. Virtual gifts hold no real-world monetary value until redeemed. PO may set minimum withdrawal thresholds and redemption limits.

  5. PO Coins are non-refundable and may only be used within the Platform.

  3. Revenue Allocation: PO allocates 50% of all verified net AdMob ad revenue generated during a creator’s livestream to that creator’s account.

  4. Revenue Calculation: Ad revenue is calculated based on verified AdMob reports and may be subject to adjustment according to ad performance and AdMob’s reporting policies. “Net ad revenue” refers to total ad income earned from livestreams after deducting applicable AdMob network fees and transaction costs.

  5. Payouts and Processing: All creator earnings are processed and distributed through PayPal HyperWallet. Payouts occur automatically after PO receives finalized monthly ad-revenue reports from Google AdMob. PO does not store or access creators’ financial information.

  6. Eligibility: To receive ad revenue, creators must be at least 18 years old, have a valid and verified PayPal account connected to HyperWallet, and comply with PO’s Community Guidelines and Terms of Use.

  • Third-Party Filings: PayPal, Google AdMob, or other affiliated financial partners may independently issue required tax reports or forms to creators based on regional tax thresholds.

  • Withholding: PO does not withhold or deduct personal income taxes from creator payouts unless legally required to do so by government authorities.

  • Accuracy of Information: Creators are solely responsible for ensuring that their tax information, legal name, and account details within PayPal HyperWallet are accurate and up to date. Inaccurate or incomplete information may result in payout delays or withholding.
